TWXLYE MTOFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Thursday. October 13, 1955
St. Mary's
Vies Friday
At Prospect
St. Mary's high Crsaders to
day completed preparations for
atrip to Prospect with indica
tions that both spirit and defense
will be bttter than last week
end wherf they bounced the Tal
ent high football team.
"The Crusaders engage the
Prospect eleven Friday after-j
noon in a Jackson County B
league fracas. Defending Cham
pion St. Mary's will try to ex
tend its G unbeaten conference
record to three straight while
the Cougars will seek their sec
ond victory in three starts.
Prospect, shooting for an up
set and playing on its home grid
iron, could give the Crusaders
one of their toughest tangles in
the circuit this year. It will be
the only league game the Med
for,d parochial club plays on a
rival field this year.
Cougars Threaten
St. Mary's 39 to 20 verdict
over Talent and the Bulldogs' 15
to 12 nod over Prospect puts the
Medford team in the favored
spot this week. But the Cougars
in a 25 to 0 win over Jackson
ville and even in their loss to
. Talent.have shown a threat, with
a gootf backfield, that the Cru
dade"rs won't be taking lightly.
In its Talent mix St. Mary's
"appeared sluggish and its de
fense was not so sharp and stout
as usual. It's figured the Crusa
ders will have to show more life
to subdue the Cougars, o
A somewhat battered squad
will make the Prospect jaunt for
. the Medford Catholic school. Yet
all but End Jim Darland should
be able to see duty, according
to Coach Millard Webb. The
wingman broke a thumb in the
Talent hassle. End Gerald Dar
land had his first contact drill
in a ceek yesterday and Back
Bill Carey participated in the
heavy work for the first time
.since the Grants' Pass mix. Dar-
land hurt his thumb in practice.
Carey . had a shoulder injury.
Neither played against Talent.
Webb reported that others
were nursing hurts but should
be ready to go.
G The mentor indicated that
Rodney Read and Gerald Dar
land or Tony Miksche may be
end starters with the possibility
that Dick Paup may see some
flank service. Duty by Darland,
one of the cogs of the club, may
be limited because of his ail
ment. Read has a lfsted weight
0 of only 130 pounds but is ex
tremely tough for his size, par
ticularly on defense. Miksche has
been coming along in games and
drills and can provide some
weight at the position. Paup is
.proficient at the wing but is one
of the Crusaders' best hands in
the backfield and may see most
of his action there.
Tackle starters may be Eddie
Fogel and llamon Elberts. Fo
gel is another who is tough de
spite small size, 140 pounds. He
makes up for lack of beef with
sharpness in fundamentals and
is'a particularly good blocker
on offense. Guards probably will
b Alson Geren and Francis
Murphy with John Walsh at cen
ter. O
It could be either Carey or Ron
Pruitt at quarterback. 'Pruitt,
who also makes up for small
size with spirit and determina
tion, is, like Carey, nursing a
bum shoulder. Others opening
the fray in the backfield may be
Paul at left half, Laval Meunier
at right half and Jim Jones at
fullback.
Coach Wes Stauff er has report
ed that his Prospect club's chanc-
es have been hurt somewhat. He
said that two starters have been
cut from the squad. Also Jim
Martin, guard and anchor in the
line, hurt his knee Monday and
may be unable to play. On the
other hand, Stauffer said, team
spirit is good and the club is
anticipating a "real good scram
ble." Prospect played the . Eagle
Point junior varsity on Monday,
winning 20 to 7 but looking dull.
Possible starters for the Coug
ars on Friday are Jim Daniels
and Leon Bean, ends; Ray Sha
fer and Don Anderson or Larry
Fishbech, tackles; Keith Setzer
and Roger Dawson or Jim Han
den, guards; Walter Friday, cen
ter; Lyle Pope, quarterback;
Don Vannice, fullback, and Don
Burwell and Darwin Bean, half
- 'backs.

By HAL WOOD
San Francisco (U.R) If South
ern California, University of
Washington and UCLA will
move over in the headlines for
just a minute, we'd like to point
out that some of the finest foot
ball on the West Coast this year
is being played elsewhere.
To be exact, at places like San
Jose State, Whitworth, Fresno
State and Whittier, to mention
just a few.
These schools' all are going
into the fourth week of the cam
paign with unblemished records
and with prospects good for un
beaten seasons although San
Jose and Fresno tangle later in
the campaign.
Not only are these clubs well
coached, but they have some of
the finest talent around doing
the performing names that
probably won't make the big
city headlines until these boys
prove themselves in professional
football.
Take Maderos
If you think that is unlikely,
take the case of George Maderos,
star of last year's Chico State
team, who has been a standout
for the San Francisco Forty Nin
ers in nearly every game this
season, or, if you want to go
back a few years, how about
Dutch Clark, an unheralded
youngster from Colorado A & M,
before he became one of the pro
fessional game's all-time greats
with the Detroit Lions. ' ,
There is a sophomore at Fres
no State, for instance, who al
ready has the pro scouts on his
trail. His name is Dean Philpott,
a 210-pound, six foot, two inch
fullback who looks like he has
the makings of a big leaguer.
Whittier has a pair of lines
men who won't be overlooked in
the professional draft, either.
One is Bob Blechen, 212-pound
six foot, four inch tackle; the
other Paul Downer, six foot, one
inch, 190-pound guard.
San Jose Stars
Of course, San Jose State
plays what amounts to nearly a
big-time college schedule with
out all the fanfare that accom
panies such teams as California
or USC. So, somewhat over
looked in the headlines, have
been quarterback Tony Teresa
and fullback Joe Ulm.
"Teresa is the best split-T for
mation quarterback in the coun
try," says head coach Bob Bron-
ing the football season, drop in

"small-time" games.

Rogue Steelhead
Catches Improve
Portland CU.R) The week end
report on fishing conditions pre
pared by the State Game Commission:
SOUTHWEST: Rogue river
steelhead catches have slowed
down after recent rain primarily
because of heavy leaf load in the
watercA new run is entering the
. Galice area, and catches are im
proving in the Grants Pass to
Gold Hill section.
Streams of the upper Umpqua
area are high and very turbid,
and prospects for the coming
weekend are poor for all types
of anelina. Salmon angling re
mains fair to gocd in the Grad-
iner area of lower Umpqua. Sil
ver salmon are starting to come
into Ivnmile lake.
Northern Jackson
Hunt Prospects
Reported Good
Portland (U.R) The week end
report on hunting conditions pre
pared by the State Game Com
mission:
SOUTHWEST: Southern Jack
son county has been heavily,
hunted, and prospects are fair.
Northern Jackson county pros
pects are good. Josephine county
best chances will be east of high
way 99 and 199. Recent rains
have brought hunting conditions
in Douglas county to the peak
of perfection. Deer hunters who
have braved the wet weather
have enjoyed good success with
most of the deer being in excel
lent condition.
CENTRAL: Best prospects for hunt
ing this week end are the areas along
the upper Crooked river from an area
starting at Post eastward to Paulina
and Camp creek and portions of Bear
creek, also the fringes of the Oehoco
national forest east of Prineville and
portions of the forest on the north
fork of the Crooked river eastward
to the ranger station. Most of the
land in these areas outside of the
national forest is private and tier-
mission must be obtained. There have
been good rains in these areas, and
hunting conditions are now excellent.
Deer are well scattered, and most
deer are still in the thickets where
they need to be movd out by hunters
wno will beat the brush to get the
best results.
SOUTHEAST: Hunting is good gen
erally through the southeast region.
some rain has fallen in Harney county
Hunting has slacked off in the Mahog
any mountain, but it is expected that
Idaho's special deer hunt No. 9, Oct.
8 to 12. will start the .deer moving
back into the Mahogany mountain
area.
NORTHEAST: Recent storms have
caused some migrations from the
higher elevations. Most areas above
5.00fc feet elevation now have snow
cover. Hunters should carry chains
as many roads .are in bad condition.
Prospects are excellent for the coming
week end in Grant county. There have
been some migrations on the north
side of the John Day river. Frenchy
butte. Morgan creek. Dry Soda look
out, and the head of Murderers creek
all should be good.
Deer are numerous along the John
Day river bottom between Twicken
ham and Dayville. Cherry creek and
namer Dasin.
Easy Wins
Seen Likely
For Big 3
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
The nation's "Big Three" of
college football Michigan,
Maryland, and Oklahoma will
register easy victories this week
end.
That's the prediction made to
day by the wizards of odds in
their hard-eyed survey of big
gridiron games coming up this
Friday and Saturday. In fact,
they make every member of the
top 10 teams in the country a
favorite except Duke, the No.
10 team, which is a one - point
underdog, to Ohio State.
Michigan, which seized the No.
One spot in the national ranking
by drubbing Army, 26-2, last Sat
urday, opens its quest for the
Big Ten championship this week
against three-time loser North
western. Despite some doubt that
injured star end Ron Kramer
will play, Michigan is a whop
ping 21 point favorite.
Maryland, a national leader
for the first two weeks of the
season and now No. 2, is a 21
point choice over North Carolina.
Sooners Heavy Favorite
Oklahoma, riding a 22-game
winning streak, is rated a 28
point pick over Kansas.
Notre Dame, the nation's No.
4 team, collides with Michigan
State, the No. 11 team, on Sat
urday at East Lansing, Mich., in
the nationally-televised "game
of the week." The unbeaten, un
tied, and unscored-on Irish are
seven point favorites.
Here's how the odds-men re
gard the other favored teams in
the top 10: Georgia Tech No. 5
seven over Auburn No. 17; Tex
as Christian No. 6 10 over Texas
A&M; UCLA No. 7 19 over Stan
ford; Wisconsin No. 8 six over
Southern California on Friday
night; and unscored-on Navy No.
9, 13 over Penn State. i
Here's how the odds-men size
up the other big weekend games:

If a long-winded Wednesday
session has its desired result,
Medford high's football contin
gent will be rarin' to go in its
Southern Oregon Conference
Friday night on Modoc field in
Klamath Falls.
The Black Tornado went
about the business of grooming
for the Pelicans for almost four
hours yesterday. Review of mo
tion pictures began about 2 p.m.
and a chalk talk followed. Grid
ders then took to the practice
field about 3:30 p.m. and the
drill lasted until about b p.m.
This week's heaviest day of
preparations included in the
physical work both defense and
offense with some time devoted
to pass scrimmage.
Drills saw Halfback Mike
Hawkins running again. He was
laid up over the week-end. with
an attack of flu. Back on hand
was Tackle Rodney Hammer
who has been on the shelf for
a good long period with a hand
fracture. ,
Chances Good
But still among the sidelined
was Tackle Mel Morgan and
Coach Fred Spiegelberg said
that the services of the first line
defensive player will be sorely
missed in the important loop' and
District 6 A-l tangle with the
Pelicans. "We could surely use
him this game," the mentor said.
"We need all the fast big guys
we can get."
Despite a jinx of no victories
over the Pels at Klamath Falls
since 1945, the Black Tornado
and its followers feel that the
Medford eleven has a good
chance this week as it starts de
fense of its championship. But
the Tornado realizes that some
odds are against it.
There's the Pel success on its
home field and the fact that
Medford's forward wall -will be

Grid Rushing
New York (U.R) Texas
Christian, long a main attrac
tion in the Southwest's "aerial
circus" and home of such famed
passing stars as Sammy Baugh
and Davey O'Brien, leads the
nation's college football teams
today in yards gained rushing.
That right rushing, not pass
ing.
Top honors in passing are held
by West Virginia's Mountaineers
who live a long way from the
pass-happy Southwest. West Vir
ginia also has gained enough
yards rushing to lead the nation
in total offense, which may mean
that Texas Christian has the
wrong idea.
Using this unorthodox sys
tem of running for yards, TCU
has ripped off four straight wins
over Kansas, Texas Tech, Arkan
sas, and Alabama to equal its
entire victory total for any sea
son since 1951. .
The Frogs have gained 1,337
yards on the ground, an average
of 3S4.3 per game. They've gain
ed only 155 yards passing, an
average of 39 per game.
Average of 432.7
West Virginia has gained 209.3
yards per game via passing in
its three triumphs so far this
season. The Mountameers have
gained even more yardage on
the ground in a well-balanced
attack and so lead the nation in
total offense with an average of
"432.7 yards gained per game.
Illinois, which ranks sixth in
rushing and ninth in passing,
combines the two for a second
place in total offense with an
average of 414.0 yards gained
per game. Oklahoma, third in
rushing, holds the same spot ov
erall with 387.3 yards per game.
Wisconsin, fourth in passing,
holds that spot overall with 384.3
yards per game. Boston College,
fourth in rushing, stands fifth
in total offense with an average
of 375.5.
Behind West Virginia's 209.3
in passing, come Texas with
165.5, Drake with 160.5, Wiscon
sin with 15S.3, and Georgia with
153.5.
West Virginia is the nation's
top scoring team with 42 points
per game, a total of 126 in three
games. Other high-scoring teams
are: Army 39.3 per game, Duke
33.7, Harvard 33.5, Denver, 33,

Chicago (U.R) The Ameri

hot pennant race and the Kansas
City Athletics today for an 11.3
per cent increase in attendance
during the 1955 season.
The eight league teams drew
8,942,971 fans, an increase of
1,020,607 over 1954, President
Will Harridge announced Wed
nesday. Kansas City's increase actual
ly amounted to more than the
league total. The Athletics drew
1,393,054, a whopping 78.1 per
cent increase over the 304,666
fans they drew in Philadelphia in
1954. '
Three other clubs, New York,
Detroit and Boston, also showed
increases over 1954 and for the
first time in history six clubs
drew more than 1,000,000 at
home. Only Washington and
Baltimore failed to at least that
many.
New York had the largest at

have some experience and good
deception in their T. offensive.
However, most of the conflicts
since Medford's 51 to 0 win in

felt that if the Tornado plays
good football and gets some
breaks they'll change their luck
on the Modoc turf.
Coach Spiegelberg said that
about 40 players will make the
Klamath , trip. It is the last regu
larly slated road trip of the year
for the Tornado although there
are Me'dford hopes for jaunts in
state eliminations.
Probable Line-Ups
The mentor listed Dick Cop
pie and Jerry Gatlin as likely
offensive starters at end for Med
ford with Mike Stearns and
Maury Butts to get first assign
ment on defense. Tackles prob
ably will be Neil Plumley and
Al Boardman with Larry Crans
ton replacing Boardman for de
fense. Monte Hoist and Jack
Gregory should be at guards
with Gregory at linebacker and
Hoist at linebacker and guard on
defense. Other defensive guard
may be Bob Apple. Center for
offense probably will be Gary
Shaffer.
There's a choice at three spots
for the offensive backfield. Dick
McLoughlin may be at quarter,
John Bellack or Gary Riley at
left half, Mike Hawkins or John
Hawley at right, half and Dave
Bosworth or Larry Gobert at
fullback. McLoughlin is ticketed
for linebacker service. Bellack
and Bosworth could be at defen
sive halfbacks with Riley at
safety.
Possibles for Klamath on of
fense are Larry Heaton and Bill
Badorek, ends; Bob Harshbarger
and Jim McGee, tackles; Roy
Ropp and Modesto Jiminez or
Al Siegner, guards; Cal Tiche-
nor, center, and Donn Taucher,
Lee McGill. .Tom Ferrell and
Dave Leeling, backs.
